Prodways Aerospace division offers a range of additive manufacturing products for the aerospace sector. Recently, Prodways Group announced the signing of a major partnership agreement with Nexteam Group.

Nexteam Group, based in Marmande (France), is a key player in the machining of complex and hard metal parts for the aerospace market, with operations in France, Poland and Romania and revenue of €130 million in 2015. The group has expertise in the design, manufacture, assembly and maintenance of both large and small precision mechanical parts in all types of metal alloys meeting the demands of the aerospace sector.

Prodways Group has 20 years’ experience in the manufacture of parts for the aerospace industry using additive manufacturing, through its Initial subsidiary, and has a fleet of around 10 machines covering all metal additive manufacturing technologies.

Prodways Group and Nexteam Group thus chose to join forces to develop a mass produced on-board metal parts additive manufacturing business for the aerospace sector.

The partnership enables Prodways to scale up manufacturing processes to an industrial level that meets the technical requirements of the major players in the aerospace market.”

This partnership will lead very soon to the creation of a joint company, called Prodways-Nexteam.
